Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis

Drawing from his eye-opening book, Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis, Harvard Kennedy School of Government Professor Robert D. Putnam examines and discusses the widening class-based opportunity gap among young people and the long-term effect on social mobility.

Putnam is heralded as America’s “poet laureate of civil society,” and Our Kids as a “must-read for all Americans concerned about the future of our children.

”Mark your calendar to join Putnam for this important presentation that will help us to better understand ourselves as a society, the implications of our past, and the faith and confidence we must embrace to ensure a brighter future.
